Introduced in 1982, and produced well into the 1990s, it featured the self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension, seen in the likes of the classic Citroën DS forbearer. Disc brakes all-round were a novelty for the time, too.
Speed, though – not a forte, although there were zesty GTi and 16v models, a 4×4 variant and even a Group B (4TC) homologation special. This looks like a plain hatchback version, however, from the silhouette, by dint of a shallow bumper and lack of rear spoiler.

Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution rally
The Citroën may not be a performance model, but it is at least culturally significant for the French automobile industry. This Lancia Delta, however, is both significant and fast.
The road-going edition of this model is already in Gran Turismo 7 – the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione from 1991 – and now this is the rally edition.
Thanks to the wide stance, rear mud flaps, small wing mirrors and large rear spoiler, we think this is the final rally evolution model (nicknamed the Deltona) used to snatch the 1992 World Rally Championship teams’ title.
Recently, several SUV models have been added to Gran Turismo 7 – from the Mazda CX-30, to the Toyota CH-R and most recently, the hybrid Honda CR-V.
Now it’s the turn of a European humdrum crossover, with what we think is the second-generation (and current) Peugeot 2008.
No, not a spicy 308 GTI, nor the 2008 Dakar rally raid beast. Just a normal 2008 compact family car.
The propulsion method is hard to spot from this teaser image, but it’s either a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo diesel or an all-electric powertrain.
